+PYTHON bindings for DCOP
+========================
+
+These are the new-style Python DCOP bindings. The way in which the bindings are
+implemented has changed since KDE 3.1.1.
+
+
+How they work
+=============
+
+The code is divided into two parts:
+
+pcop.cpp - the C++ interface between Python and DCOP - generates shared library pcop.so
+           which can be imported by Python
+
+pydcop.py - the Python interface to pcop.cpp
+
+pcop.cpp includes a header file marshal_funcs.h, which is generated from
+a data file called marshal_funcs.data by a converter script, gen_marshal_funcs.py
+
+marshal_funcs.data contains the basic code necessary to marshal and demarshal the different
+types that DCOP can handle. For example, it codes how to convert a QString for use by Python
+(in this case, a Python string) and the reverse - what the user may supply in Python when
+DCOP requires a QString. In addition to the fundemental types, more complex QT classes are
+coded, such as QRect (which converts to a Python tuple ( (x1,y1), (x2,y2) ) ).
+
+Documentation is auto-generated out of marshal_funcs.data, creating file marshal_funcs_doc.html,
+which details how each DCOP type (e.g. QString, QRect, int, QCStringList) is represented in Python.
+
+In this implementation, each DCOP type is represented by a basic Python type - numeric, tuple, etc.
+There are no "QT bindings" necessary.
+
+These bindings allow you to code Python to act as a DCOP client (querying and/or controlling
+other DCOP applications), or as a DCOP server. This means that you can DCOP-enable Python applications
+even if they are not QT based.
+
+If you want to use DCOP in the context of a Python QT application, then there are DCOP bindings included in
+the PyQT and PyKDE bindings available from:
+
+http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/
+
+Examples
+========
+
+There are some example Python programs in the test directory.
+
+Known problems
+=============
+
+There is currently a bug which means you must import both pcop and pydcop in your Python programs.
+This means that a Python program using dcoppython must include:
+
+import pcop
+import pydcop
+
+In that order. If you don't import pcop, a seg fault occurs when the interpreter exits. This, of course, will be
+fixed once I find out what the hell's going on.
+
+Authors
+=======
+
+The original Python DCOP bindings were written by Torben Weis (weis@kde.org).
+The current implementation, based on Torben's worked, was written by Julian Rockey (kde@jrockey.com).
+Julian is also the current maintainer.

+//   and merely return true or false, depending on whether the object _could_
+//   be marshalled.
+//
+// Demarshalling:
+//   The code in the "demarshal" section has the following variables available:
+//     QDataStream *str; // the stream to demarshal from
+//   The function should return a PyObject* which is a reference to the

+What's this doing here? It's here to help if you're developing the Python DCOP bindings themselves. You don't need it if you just want to _use_ the bindings.
+
+It's a simple DCOP server in C++, that can be used to conveniently test the Python DCOP interface (or any other DCOP binding, for that matter). The script gen.py generates simple get/set DCOP methods for a variety of types.
+
+Note that gen.py is _not_ automatically invoked from the Makefile, so you should run it yourself before doing make.
